The Remedy

A man with an illness in his stomach that no doctor can cure seeks out expensive alternative treatment.

Another short story that feels longer than it is, this one is just a bunch of doctor visits with the main character's inner dialogue. It reaches interesting a few times, but never good.

This can in no way be considered horror, Derrick spends most of the book happy and thinking things might just get better. I know the end is terrible, but it is more like a bad punchline to even worse joke.

I was left feeling bored, and frustrated, and with lots of questions. Not in the good weird story way, more in the that was so dumb and makes no sense if you think about it for a second kind of way.
